our theme this month:
WEDDINGS
weddings of any kind, any place, any time, old or new, ours or someone else's,
or the philosophy of weddings and all that goes with weddings,
so you see we can run far afield if we like.

Over years and years I used to go on holiday to the Greek Islands
and dreamed of having my Wedding and Honey Moon on one of the islands....
As things turned out when I did finally got married here in France,
Greece was 'far away'.....!
So, my contribution to this monthly post:
A Greek Wedding
*
"....Viki and Niko would never have met if it weren’t for the wish of Viki’s godmother to help her find someone special. The fact that she had intended to introduce Viki to a different man altogether is, of course, besides the point. As it happened when Viki’s godmother brought her to a dance to meet the intended special someone, they ran into her godmother’s dear friend who also happened to be good friends with Niko and his family. On the spot, the two matchmakers decided to change the plan, and brought Viki and Niko together. The rest is history…
After their first date at Fugakyu in Brookline, they enjoyed a wonderful courtship, getting to know each other’s family and friends and falling deeply in love. Niko proposed on July 26, 2008 at the St. George Hotel’s rooftop restaurant in Athens, Greece.
Given the season (December), Viki chose burgundy as her primary color with accents of cream and gold. She brought special touches to her day with many Greek traditions incorporated into their celebration, such as writing the names of unwed girlfriends on the bottom of her shoe. Viki and Niko now share their anniversary day with Niko’s parents and honored them at the reception with photos from their wedding as well as their own cake....."
